|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|The Kings Lynn Film Festival objectives are<br>to:-<br>promote appreciation of, and education in,<br>the arts and crafts and their associated<br>technologies in relation to cinema and other<br>forms of moving images by staging an<br>annual film festival and educational events<br>and activities in association with this.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|King’s Lynn Film Festival<br>commenced its activities in 2015, with a<br>weekend festival of film screenings and<br>young person’s film-making workshops. A<br>decision was made at that stage to run the<br>Festival every 2 years, so the next edition<br>was in 2017, again featuring a programme<br>of film over a weekend, plus additional<br>activities including a young person’s<br>workshop. These served to meet the KLFF<br>objectives of promoting an appreciation of<br>film as an art form, and providing a specific<br>opportunity to engage with new audiences<br>such as young people.<br>The 2019 edition of the Festival was<br>postponed in order to review our offer and<br>give it wider appeal.  However, our plans<br>for 2020 were disrupted by the covid<br>pandemic, and the Festival is now due to<br>return in late 2023.  We have not<br>undertaken any specific activities, received<br>any income, or incurred any expenditure<br>within the year 2022-23 covered by this<br>report.<br>Generally, our activities have been<br>given a good profile locally through the<br>media and through our own<br>communications activities, helping to<br>establish the KLFF as part of the wider arts|
